Born- 26 November March 1948 AD. He is an Australian-born American biochemist. In 1980, he discovered that the telomeres of chromosomes contain a specific DNA. This DNA prevents chromosome breakage. Awarded Nobel Prize in Medicine (2009) and Albert Lasker Award.
James Patrick Allison
Born on August 7, 1948. He is an American immunologist. Patrick Ellison and Tasuku Honjo researched a type of immune system protein to show that this protein causes disease remission by melting or exploding cancer tumors. The award received is the Nobel Prize in Medicine (2018).
Francoise Barre Sinoussi
Born-30 July 1947 AD. He is a French virologist. Discovered in 1983 by scientists Barre Sinossi and Luc Montagnier. It has made the treatment of AIDS possible. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine (2008).
Eric F. Wieschaus
Born-June 8, 1947 AD. He is an American biologist. Wisehouse and Näslein Vollhard identified and classified fruit fly genes. Discovered the regulation of genes in embryonic development. Awards received are Nobel in Medicine (1995), Genetics Society of America Medal etc.
Jeffrey Conor Hall
Born-3 May 1945 AD. He is an American geneticist and chronobiologist. Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rossbys, and Michael Young explain the genetic and molecular basis of how biological clocks coordinate with cells and organisms during the 24-hour cycle of the planet. Received awards are Nobel (2017), Louisa Gross Horwitz Award, Canada Giardner Award, Massry Prize etc.
Yoshinori Ohsumi
Born-February 9, 1945 AD. He is a Japanese biologist. He researches the process of autophagy. Awarded Nobel in Medicine (2016).
Ian Wilmut
Born-7 July 1944 AD. He is an embryologist from Scotland. He was knighted in 2008. Researched embryology and genetics. In 1996, he gave birth to a sheep named Dolly from body cells. Awarded Nobel Prize in Medicine.
Michael Rosbash
Born – March 7, 1944 AD. He is an embryologist from Scotland. He is an American geneticist and chronobiologist. Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rossbys, and Michael Young explain the genetic and molecular basis of how biological clocks coordinate with cells and organisms during the 24-hour cycle of the planet. Award received is Nobel (2017).
Ralph M. Steinman
Born – 14 January 1943 AD and Died – 30 September 2011 AD. He is a Canadian biologist. He pointed out that T-cells are dendritic cells. Elucidates the role of specific dendritic cells in acquired immunity. This discovery will contribute to the cure of allergies, organ transplants, type-1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis of the brain and spinal cord. Awarded Nobel in Medicine (2011) and Canada Gardner International Prize (2003).
Tim Hunt
Born-19 February 1943 AD. He is a British chemist. Hartwell, Hunt, and Maxim Nurse discovered that specific genes control cell cycle function. Cell formation, growth and subsequent division are accomplished through the cell cycle. Awarded Nobel in Medicine (2001), Royal Medal etc.
